I have thought a lot about how I think a Twinge might work and what it will look like. It order to keep myself on track, here are some key rules and components.
Twinge Jargon (made up by me)
- Twinge- A Twin Challenge, meaning a challenge involving doing something or going somewhere with my twins (currently 3.5 months old). It spikes my anxiety for some reason and seems difficult.
- Reinforcements- People I involve in the Twinge.
- Supplies/Resources- Things I will need to use or bring either for myself or for the babies.
- Game Plan- The overall plan of attack for accomplishing the Twinge.
- Win- Completed the Twinge successfully! Woohoo!
- 50/50- Partial win, but had to retreat. Got close though.
- Fail- total destruction! Okay, not entirely horrible, but now where close to completing the challenge.
- ReTwinge- A repeated attempt on a failed Twinge.
- Twinge 2.0- A repeated Twinge with a twist. It will increase in difficulty for some reason.
Rules:
- A Twinge must be an activity that causes anxiety. It is something I have never before done with twins.
- I must bring the twins... obviously!
- If I fail, I have to repeat it until it becomes a win, but I can and should change the game plan.
- I cannot repeat the same Twinge once it is considered a Win, unless the difficulty level is increased somehow. I can repeat the activity over and over, but I won't write about it here.
- I can include supports however I see fit.
- Try to have fun even if I panic.
- Never do anything that could be dangerous! Come on guys, it's not that kind of game.
What to look Look For: Here's what I'll be posting!
Name the Twinge: I will tell you what the specific challenge is.
Reason: I will say why I want to accomplish the Twinge.
Why It's a Twinge: I will tell why I'm worried about it. My fears about what could go wrong.
Supplies/Resources: What tools, supplies, or reinforcements I plan to use.
Game Plan: The overall plan for how I will tackle it all.
Results: The real deal! I will tell what went right and what went wrong. I plan not to sugar coat the situation at all. If it is a win, I'll celebrate. If it is a fail, I'll have fun explaining how horrible it was. It is was a 50/50, I'll sit somewhere in the middle. I also hope to post pics. Maybe you'll see something funny and can laugh about it together.
